With the aim of estimating genetic parameters and recognizing superior Jatropha curcas L. combinations, ten superior plants were selected based on seed yield and oil content, and were crossed among them in a 10 x 10 half-diallel mating design to produce 45 F1-hybrids. The e xperiment was conducted...
